Article1 Outsourcing contracts won by Indian companies

Even in a recession hit market where clients are cutting outsourcing budgets, Indian firms

such as TCS, Infy, Wipro, HCL, YEHMAIL, FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES and Tata

Communications have won large outsourcing deals this year placing them among the top

100 global service providers , on contract value terms. Even though the total contract

value of awarded outsourcing deals fell by 38 percent to USD60.2 billion in the first six

months of this year, Indian tech firms continued to compete neck and neck with the global

biggies such as IBM, Accenture, HP/EDS, CSC, shows data from TPI. TPI is the largest

sourcing data and advisory firm and measures commercial outsourcing contracts valued

at USD25 million or more. YEHMAIL Limited, UK seems to get major outsourcing

contracts for Asia Pacific.

Indian firms dominated the information technology outsourcing ITO segment USD38.2

billion split into application, development and maintenance ADM and infrastructure

segments and offshore software development.

Among the desi firms, the top deal winners were Cognizant, Infosys, HCL, TCS, Future

Technologies and Wipro featuring in the ADM section. HCL and Wipro were again listed

among the top 10 infrastructure deal winners, TPI said.

Retail, diversified financials, transport, and network telecom services providedstrength to the ITO market. TCS was the top vendor to win deals in three of these

markets, while Infosys appeared as one of the top vendors in the Americas and the APAC

region, HSBC IT analyst Yogesh Aggarwal said.

Tata Com, only Indian firm among network service bigwigs such as AT andT, BT,

Ericsson and Nokia Siemens -- grabbed a place amongst top 10 club in a segment where

Indian Outsourcing and the Dollar Dip

Outsourcing strengthening economies, improving infrastructure and upgradingquality of lifeWe've heard it all. So doesn't the sunshine industry ever face

any glitches? It surely does, what with global equations and the economicrealities of various countries and people coming into play. And what betterexample than how the outsourcing capital of the world, India, is facing abacklash because of the flux surrounding its economy and that of the dollar.

The sharp fall in the dollar is sparking waves throughout the global financialcommunities. The International Monetary Fund in their latest report on theU.S. economy has stated that a plummeting dollar remains a risk to the globaleconomy, partly because financial markets react adversely to a downshift inthe currency. The dollar, which had lost about 5% against the pound and theeuro this year, is again facing a devaluation.

The Writing on the Wall

So how has dollar depreciation against the rupee (or rupee appreciation if youput it in another way) affected the Indian outsourcing scene? According to thechairman of a leading Indian IT company, depreciation of the dollar isemerging as the biggest risk for the Indian software and IT-enabledcompanies as their exposure in the US currency is more than 80%. InfosysTechnologies, India's premier IT giant, lost $21.6 million during the firstquarter (April-June) for fiscal year 2003-04 on account of the rupee'sappreciation against the US dollar. A majority of IT companies and BPOs inIndia cater to American clients and measure revenue in dollars. As a studyputs it, "Indian software firms get 60 per cent of their revenues from the USand a one per cent appreciation of the rupee against the dollar can impactearnings before interest and tax margins by between 30 and 50 basis points.Irrespective of the fact whether the company is big or small, all of them havebeen hit. The margins may be impacted by as much as 4 per cent."

The operating margins in the BPO industry are usually around 12% and therupee rise is expected to have a 9% impact on BPO margins. The expenses forBPOs incurred in rupees also add to this situation. The labor cost arbitrage, amajor driving force of the Indian outsourcing equation, is definitely sufferingand profit margins - already taking a drubbing because of wage revisions andincreasing visa costs - are bound to recede. India's own booming economy andexpanding foreign reserves are, ironically, contributing to this crunch.

Tackling Head on!

So how has Indian IT and BPO companies coped as the dollar lost more than7% in rupee terms? Many Indian IT companies are trying to bank on efficiencyin operations apart from managing foreign exchange exposure wisely.Increasing work output to balance returns is a common strategy beingadopted. Many BPOs have increased shift duration by an hour, givingemployees the choice to work late or start early. BPO workers typically work40 hours weekly, but with these modified timings they will have to work for 50hours in a week. Another tactic being put in place is extending working days to

Saturday, resulting in a 6-day working week.

A broader perspective emerges from industry forerunners. According to T. V.Mohandas Pai of Infosys, the big challenge for India in the dollar depreciationis the opening of the external commercial borrowing (ECB) window. He adds,"Do not allow ECBs to be converted into rupees. But allow ECBs only forimports or for acquisitions overseas. Don't allow the use of ECBs for the next

one year for local assets or working capital. It is just a small stop-gaparrangement. Then I think the situation will improve."

Rupee appreciation and wage inflation has also prompted the ITES-BPOindustry to make a strong pitch to the Indian Government for the continuationof tax concessions under the Software Technology Parks of India (STPI)scheme beyond 2009. Extension of tax incentives can help the industrycounteract losses being caused by the dollar dip.

The Silver Lining

So will the rupee-dollar equations have an enduring negative impact on India'spremier position as an outsourcing destination? NASSCOM (NationalAssociation of Software & Services Companies) is optimistic on this count, withKiran Karnik, the President of NASSCOM, saying, "The impact would beminuscule and to the tune of 2-3 percent; we do not think it will have anadverse impact on the competitiveness of Indian software firms." In fact,many experts point out that the steady rise of the rupee actually warrant goodtimes. The infrastructure needs of the Indian economy requires hugeinvestments, a major chunk of which needs to come from overseas. The hostcountry's currency, appreciation will go a long way in instilling confidence inoverseas investors. The overall well being of the Indian economy - curbedinflation, rising stock indices, controlled trade deficits - can also only meangood times ahead in the long term. So chins up one and all!

BlackHat USA 2009: Russian's Organized Crime Heritage Paved WayFor Cybercrime

Russia's longstanding history with organized crime has nurtured a current

crop of sophisticated cybercrime organizations dedicated to informationstealing and political "hacktivism."

During a BlackHat USA 2009 presentation, Dmitri Alperovitch, McAfee Internetthreat researcher, said that Russia's history of organized crime has paved the wayfor the emergence of highly sophisticated cybercrime organizations that havespearheaded the emergence of Internet worms, botnets, spamming,phishingandcredit card forums.

But fundamentally, there is little difference between cybercrime and other types ofcrime. "At the end of the day, it's about the money," he said.

Alperovitch said that the current security environment is ripe for cybercriminals.Unlike other types of crime, cybercrime has low barriers to entry, there is littleprevention and few enforcement mechanisms, and the returns are "enormous." The"ease of doing business" has facilitated a reported 275,000 incidents in 2008 whichtranslates to about $265 million lost in the U.S. alone, he said.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg, Alperovitch said.

Russia, in particular, has a long history of organized crime, he said. Organizedcrime emerged during Lenin/Trotsky era. Russian prisons, known as Gulags,

housed criminals who formed a distinct organization known as "Thieves andLaw."

"Out of these places evolved sophisticated organizations," Alperovitch said.

Members of these organizations were required to abandon their existing familiesand commit solely to the organizations, using tattoos as a language tocommunicate their rank and the crimes they have committed.

"Violations of this code were punishable by physical mutilation and even death,"Alperovitch said. "They viewed crime as a way of life. They were willing to liveand die for their organization."

Initially, Russian cybercrime had its roots in software piracy. However,cybercrime took off following a 1994 Citibank hack linked to St. Petersburg,which allowed attackers to access more than $10 million via the telephone system.Much of that money was never recovered.

"It was difficult to prosecute," Alperovitch said. "What was clear was that this was

not a one-man operation."

In the late 1990s, Russian cybercriminals were an integral part of the creation andthe monetization of botnets and Internet worms, Alperovitch said, which paved theway for organized crime organizations built around spamming and phishing.

"They realized early on there is a lot of money to be made in spamming andphishing," he said.

But the attacks were motivated by more than just money. Russian cybercriminalsrealized that cybercrime efforts could be used for political activism, or"hacktivism," which was reflected in denial of service attacks on Estonia in 2005and on the Georgian government and news Web sites in 2008.

By mid-2000, these organizations were full-fledged businesses. One cybercrimeorganization, known as CarderPlanet, specialized in the theft and sale of creditcards and identifying information.

As they developed, these organizations operated like corporations, and assignedjobs to members to buy, sell and trade stolen information. "This is about business.This is all about money. These guys are businessmen. They pay for advertising,"said Keith Mularski, an FBI cyber division special agent.

They also created Web forums in which they could communicate with otherhackers in the cyber underground.

Incrementally, law enforcement began to catch up to some of the Russiancybercrime organizations. Among those recently arrested was Maxim Yastremsky,

a hacker partly responsible for the 2006 TJX breach and Roman Vega, mastermindbehind credit card dump sites and carding forums.

Mularski described a deep undercover operation over a three-year time span inwhich he posed as a cyber criminal on the DarkMarket forum. The sting resultedin the arrest of 56 indivduals worldwide, more than $70 million in potentialeconomic loss prevented, and recovery of 100,000 compromised credit cards, hesaid.

When people think of cybercrime -- this is the first thing I thought of -- everybodyis a geek," Mularski said. "Really, the cybercrime out there is highly organized."
